Summary: I loved Gabriel Byrne!!!!!!!!!
Review: Contrary to a lot of other people I actually liked "End of Days" not only because it actually has true references far as the bible goes to back up the basis of the story but, I also think that Gabriel Byrne makes a very good Satan. I am a Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, and I think that he proved that he can be more than just a tough guy actor.

Summary: nd of last action hero.
Review: Okay, Last Action Hero was worse. But this isnt much better. I dont think that Arnold's acting was all that bad, just the movie. Hollywood just doesnt get it. First of all this movie(in the plot) establishes the reality of Satan. He's real(in the movie). So if Satan is real then God must be as well, right? But wait a minute! WE created God so he really doesnt exist, thats why he's not in the movie - just a bunch of eccentric followers of his that are foolish enough to believe that he does indeed exist. So the devil is real but God isnt, and when he(devil) shows up then its up to man to stop him cause God(who doesn't exist anyway cause he doesnt show up in the film) isnt really real. But the devil is so..............cough, vomit, drool.............ugggh. This is old news. Holywood hates Christians.....period. To them we are a bunch of racist, self serving, homophobic maggots who are responsible for all the evils in society due to our intolerence of drugs, adultry, homosexuality and such. But our archenemy is such great plot material that they just cant resist can they? Well, you cant have one without the other. Here's some advice-why not try something original?

Summary: Derivative and routine
Review: OK, I finally saw it on cable. Yuck. Though I only have myself to blame if I'm surprised it's bad. The movie makers tried to cash in the apprehension some Religious Right nuts tried to create concerning the Millennium. In a sense, this movie was inevitable. What a story line. It's derived from countless other movies. I was going to list some, nbut there are just too many. Mostly fair acting. Arnold was flat, as usual. Tunney? Eh. She's a cutie-pie with a nice chest. That's about it. Byrne, though, was quite good as Satan. I especially enjoyed the conversation between Byrne and Arnold in Arnold's apartment. It warmed my atheistic heart. Maybe that was the movie's high point. Heck, I can see myself watching it quite often when there's no actual good stuff on TV. (...)

Summary: You Gotta Problem With Great Trash?
Review: Hey, you watch an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie where a suicidal ex-cop goes head-to-head with the Devil for the future of mankind...and expect ART? I LOVED the thing! Arnie's perfect in his role, the special effects look great, the story does its job (giving the actors and special effects teams a chance to entertain us) and Gabriel Byrne's oily charm and nonchalant mayhem as Satan kept me grinning, scene after scene. The movie's empty calories, but tasty. Who's complaining?

Summary: Not bad but,
Review: I've watched that Seventh Sign movie, and I must say it was much better written than this movie. BUt if they'd been identical this movie wouldn't even need existance. On thing you can tell is that Arnold isn't having much fun. But I can see why. If I were surrounded by 99% antichrists, I would try to find a way. This girl on there who's mom was supposed to be evil, thought that she could get rid of the devil that easily. I can't believe it! As much as you may disagree with me, I believe that since we all have an "eternal life" deal and a "life after death" situation where your soul never ends. That's why I thought it was okay when I saw the evil spirit go from another guy to him. And at the end he kills himself, and in the background you see his wife and daughter. However, it's real short and whenever his friend took the devil's advice, things finally changed. Then on the liquid oily gas, the devil puts a lighter on there and makes fire go to the car that (Arnold's character) was in. And there were parts whenever crowds of people were at parties since it was supposedly end-1999, (what some thought of, "end of world"). I just thought that this movie was short of motivation. On it, it only had Arnold fighting the evil, and it would have got my attention if at least a few others were. But if you are a collector of Schwarzenegger's movies, this is a must-buy, though I thought Twins and Terminator 2 were much better. If you like the Seventh Sign and stuff like that, maybe.

Summary: End of Days (1999) d: Hyams, Peter
Review: End of Days has been compared to both the brilliantly written Sixth Sense (1999), and edge of your seat sci-fi thriller Alien (1979), but it doesn't even come close to being played in the same theater as those two films. Director Peter Hyams (The Relic (1996)) tackles two big names, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Satan, in probably the stupidest plot Hollywood has come up with in a very long time. The film mix's both typical action, and the occult horror genres to reach a wider target market, yet ends up alienating true fans. Very dark and moody visuals work well with the subject matter, and as typical, the computer effects are truly amazing. The DVD comes loaded with extras including rock videos by Everlast and Rob Zombie and a piece on The Book of Revelation.

Summary: top 5 worst schwarzenegger movies of all time
Review: this movie is simply awfull, mediocre acting, star power and good special effects cannot save this movie, one of the worst schwarzenegger films since hercules and last action hero and the one where he was preggo. on my list of worst and most dissapointing movies of all time, despite the director having enough good taste to put rob zombies music in his movie, which also isnt in the film as much as it is in the video included in the dvd, i for one am getting really tired of movies with special musical releases of good or semi cra.. music which never even appears in the movie unless it is a 5 min segment of the credits. dont buy it, this movie is a insult to fans of schwarzenegger and movies intelligence, unless your 5 years old. skip it put in T2 instead and watch it for the 100th time youll thank me.

Summary: Must have been a bad day
Review: Total disappointment. Not worth remembering except that I could have seen a better movie in those 2 hours. Gabriel Byrne impressed again, and there were some hot chix, that can't cover for a terrible movie. Plot holes galore, and it seems like they cobbled together the story from every other apocalyptic film ever made. All that you are left saying is , "Why Arnie? Why?".

Summary: Make sure that you are very very drunk if you watch this
Review: Satan needs to spawn with the right child in the right place on the right night which turns out to be New York City when midnight hits on the millenium. Arnold is there to stop him. This movie fails because Satan is so dumb. Forget the amalgamation of every other armageddon movie from Rosemary's Baby to Devil's Advocate, this one bites on its own merit. Satan can't just meet this woman at a party somewhere. He has to run around blowing things up first. And why is Robin Turney the designated mother of all that is evil if she can't stop crying and whining for a second. Maybe if the Satanists that raised her had actually trained her in the task that she is supposed to perform, they'd never have had a problem with her. But when you know that this movie is a true failure is when Satan shows up at Arnold's apartment adn tries to tempt him into joining with him. Besides calls of "Say YES Arnie! Say YES! Make this movie interesting and just join the legions of the damned!!" I couldn't be more perplexed when Arnie asked Gabriel Byrne what he wanted and didn't get an answer. That's when I thought "What DOES G-d need with a spaceship" after all. And there it is, what does Satan want to take over the world for anyhow? And there's nothing like a theological plothole to ruin a movie. Watch it for the loopy sex scenes and the explosions, but I implore you, drink heavily beforehand. That's the only thing that's going to keep you from the bad plot.

Summary: ICK?
Review: Okay, I am not going to totally diss this movie. But personally, I hate movies with Arnoald what's a netor, or what... For the story line, and the very very neat graphics this was a let down. It was a little slow, and you had to dig to understand the stuff, and it's all church, stuff and things, and it was really kind of bad. For me, I didn't like it at all, But for other's they probally wouldn't mind. But if someone asked, I'd say... No, and that's what it's going to stay at.
